Guido, how about adding a search annotation “free”? Would that work? Cheers Christian

Is there a way to _tell_ fzn-gecode to use free search and to ignore any search annotation?

The -f command line option is actually a no-op, it’s just there to maintain compatibility with the MiniZinc challenge (the specification is that you /may/ ignore the search annotation, not that you /must/…).

 

Cheers,

Guido

Thanks Guido. I need this in a context with free search, and by the way another unfortunate thing about fzn-gecode is that any search annotation seems to disable the -f flag.

So free search seems incompatible with Gist showing variable names... What a pity. I hope that you will return to these points eventually.

Keep up the good work,

Hi Mats,

 

this is a limitation in the current fzn-gecode interpreter, we can only get variable names for variables that are mentioned in a search annotation.  So currently the only workaround is to include all variables in some search annotation (but of course I understand that that’s not necessarily what you want to do).  I had a look at fixing this at some point, but it turned out to be more than just a few lines of code so I had to leave it for the time being.

 

Cheers,

Guido

Hi, I have a problem with fzn-gecode -mode gist, Gecode trunk 14847, MiniZinc 2.0.13.

Namely, anonymous variable names like var[123] get displayed instead of the variable names of the .fzn file.  Admittedly, the latter names are a bit awkward, but at least they enable me to relate back to the names of the MiniZinc model.  But I have no idea how to map the var[...] names to the names of the .fzn file. I have tried to edit the .fzn file in various ways to make Gist use its names, but it has not helped.  Is there some work-around?

See the attachment for an example.
